Elbebrücke Wittenberg, Railway bridge in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany.
Elbebrücke Wittenberg is a steel railway bridge spanning 333 meters across the river with a central arch supported by concrete pillars at each end. Its design allows trains to traverse the route connecting regions on either side of the water.
The original structure from 1859 required several reconstructions, particularly in 1888, 1906, and 1926, as railway loads continually increased. These rebuilds reflect how transportation demands grew in the region over time.
The bridge is part of the Berlin-Halle railway line connecting the Elbe crossing with major transport hubs. It shapes the landscape and reflects the industrial heritage of the region.
The bridge accommodates train passage at speeds up to 160 kilometers per hour, serving the route between north and south. You can observe it from the riverbank or nearby vantage points.
In 2001, a modified suspension system was installed using specialized welding techniques to reduce wind vibration. This adaptation makes it an interesting example of engineering solutions against natural forces.
